When you think about it in that sense, Umar is right. 50 years later and "the community" as a whole has not benefited from hip hop but a number of individuals have.
he also hasn't helped the community.
Those are questions for ppl in charge of your tax dollars not rappersDuring this most recent Hurricane Chris thing he framed his beef (pause) in terms of what Fif was doing for the community of Shreveport and on one side niggas were saying he brought so many rich people to the city and on the other he put $$ in Master P and these niggas hands..Now, of the 177k people in the city, how many are positively affected by either side of that argument?
Will any Black children get a better education, less murderous police or safer communities as a result of rich people going there? Would it if Hurricane Chris got 30k to perform? Are there scholarships associated with that? HBCU endowments?
That’s what he means when he says individualist shit. The real benefits of hip hop are what Lyor Cohen reaps in that he can build his community from it. That’s the meat, we get the grease. Or guns and butter, whatever.
This nigga talking bout it created podcast jobs (Grease) is of the same roots as ‘black jobs’. We not thinking on any level that transforms our situation.
Dr. Umar is spot on here.

Hip Hop has helped create an entire black entrepreneurial class which would nt exist without itWhat is its use to the community? How does it serve the black community positively?
Lol that's peace.Hip Hop has helped create an entire black entrepreneurial class which would nt exist without it
For example
Without hip hop how is 50 cent able to put 20 million of his own money into not only developing a studio in downtown Shreveport
Which in turn will help the community it serves in the long run
Whether we like it or not that s job creation on a micro levelLol that's peace.
